♥ Use your stash card challenge ~ Week 3 - Basic Grey ♥

[Mystik Nat]

Another week has flown by and you know what that means! A new manufactuer!

So get using your stash from...

Oooh could this be an easy one....

Basic Grey


Same as before (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?t=177937) - get using up those scraps of left-overs and {gasp} even cutting into those 12x12 sheets of paper that've been lying around for months waiting to be used!!

You've got tons of fabulous paper lines to choose from, trim, rub-ons, chipboard and die-cuts... And special gold stars to anyone who uses up some of those dusty monograms they've had around for ages...

Remember this challenge has a fabulous one-off prize donated by Scrapagogo (http://www.scrapagogo.co.uk/catalog/index.php) for one lucky participant!

To have a chance at winning the prize, you'll need to post your card(s) in one of the weekly challenge threads by midnight on Thursday 23rd of August. :D

If there are any manufacturers in particular you'd like to have entered into the hat, drop me a PM! :)

Until next Friday and happy creating!!! :D

May be able to do this - think I have 2 whole sheets of BG from an old set!

[sarahscards]

Yay! A paper I have STACKS of! A card I made for DH's cousin who's just had twin girls (4 weeks after our twins were born & there are no twins in the family - spooky!!!)

Created using BG Oh Baby Girl scraps & BG mini monograms as a template.

[HOPEJACK]

Here's mine (after suffering panic attacks I just couldn't cut into my Scarlett's letter pp!! :lol:). So I used some pp from the Romani range. I combined this with the DCM challenge to use a frill! :)

[xxpaddler]

I used some of the left overs from a page class I did on the Swansea Retreat in July. Did a class using Basic Grey Infuse... lovely papers!
The bottom edge of the card finishes at the bottom of the wavy linepattern. When the card is opened, the bottom edge of the inside includes the top of the wavy pattern. I resorted to a happy birthday peeloff adjusted to follow the wavy line on the bottom right of the card. All edges inked in brown chalk ink.. :rolleyes:

[xxpaddler]

ooohh.. love that one Cheryl... gorgeous.

[KittyF]

Here is my attempt using the new Infuse Papers.... :) More info on my blog!

[HOPEJACK]

Ooh love that one too Bird - what supplies did you use? Infuse pp? Love the flowers!

[Louly]

Here's my attempt it can't compare to the standard that has been set though, what amazing cards from everybody. Mine looks pants in comparison:angry: The paper is BG- Oh baby girl- Natalie and the fibres are also BG.

[x Looby x]

Louly it's not pants at all - it's lovely!

[Louly]

Aw, thanks Looby:love:

[HOPEJACK]

Lou - it's gorgeous - just love how you've set the fibres (for a challenge??) :wub:

[Mystik Nat]

Looks like Skate Shoppe was a popular one to use up then eh? That's what I used this weekend for my quick card too! LOL

[jo]

Only own 3 sheets of BG so I had to go with rub-ons instead!

[mum-on-the-run]

Blimey!! What a lot of fabulous cards!! :wub:

Patsy the alpha stamps are the Karen Foster Snap Stamps in the small size. I recently bought the mini which are tiny and the medium which are huge!! The large ones must be massive, LOL!!

[Mystik Nat]

Oh excellent Jo - see rub-ons deserve to be used. :D

I have really liked using those BG rub-ons of late. I have so many that were hanging around for the perfect project that I just needed to start using them! And cards it is. ;)

Fabulous entries from everyone so far... the deadline is fast approaching, then you'd better watch out for another little challenge... ^_^

[Bird]

Ooh love that one too Bird - what supplies did you use? Infuse pp? Love the flowers!


Yup, Basic Grey Infuse paper, and the flowers I can't remember where I got them from, but they look beautiful with the infuse papers.

I have more details on my blog if you're inerested, www.sillybirds.blogspot.com hugs xx

[HOPEJACK]

Thanks for your replies Bird & Cheryl :)

Light - your cards are gorgeous - have a kind of vintage feel to them but with a modern twist :)

[debby4000]

These are not for the challenge cos they're not my idea but what I saw at demo with a lady called Jenny. She stamped on BG then cutout the dress. I thought you might like to see my attempts, I've used Phoebe or Perhaps (I get them muddled up)

[jennyap]

Gorgeous Debby. (Looks like Perhaps to me :D)

[HOPEJACK]

Oh they are lovely Debby - I really like those stamps :wub:
